248w ago - Sony PS3 Remote Play and Remote Keyboard Software is now released and intended for Sony Vaio PC's via PS3 Firmware 3.30, but unsure if either one will work with a standard PC using this Untested Patch, Revision 1, VRPPatch and Vista Patch or not so the links are available for people to try.

To quote: Remote Play with PlayStation 3 is a new software feature for compatible VAIO models. It allows your VAIO to remotely access and playback certain content on your PS3 from virtually anywhere in the world.

Once the remote play connection is established between the VAIO and the PS3, the PS3's XrossMediaBar (XMB) menu screen appears on the display of the VAIO giving the VAIO playback control of your PS3.

From here you can playback your photos, music or videos stored on your PS3 with that content being streamed in real time to the screen of your VAIO.

For Australian customers who have purchased the Play TV Digital TV Tuner accessory for their PS3 this remote Play software allows you to either watch the TV recordings you have made on your PS3 or watch Live Australian TV on the display of your VAIO from anywhere in the world - great for the Soccer season if you are travelling!

Remote Keyboard with PlayStation 3 allows users to establish a bluetooth connection between the VAIO computer and PlayStation 3 so that users can make use of the computer's keyboard and touchpad to operate PlayStation 3 system non-game functions.

Remote Play with PlayStation 3 allows you to display the PlayStation 3 system on a VAIO computer and remote operate from the VAIO computer.

If a Play TV Digital TV Tuner (optional accessory for PlayStation 3) is available, users can also watch recorded TV programs or tune into live TV straight from the VAIO computer via the Internet.

Important Notes: The software available is only compatible with Windows 7 Operating System.

1. Please update the PlayStation 3 system software to the latest version.

2. To use Remote Play via the Internet, enable the router's UPnP function if the router in use supports UPnP. If the router in use does not support UPnP, you must set the router's port forwarding to allow communication to the PlayStation3 system from the Internet. The port number that is used by Remote Play is TCP: 9293. For information about setting this option, refer to the instructions supplied with the router.

3. Remote Play screen might blackout for a few seconds if the wireless LAN signal is poor or signal interference has occurred.

4. The connection to the PlayStation3 might be disconnected when it is established via the proxy server.
